Sudden death

[Snow White]

Bad RAM can cause alot problems.  I had one bad stick and it caused me 
to need to restart every day and as the problem agravated it would do 
some pretty wierd stuff.  I would run the hardware test from Apple and 
as many ram testers I could find.

Heat can shut it down.  Has the heatsink been taken off the processor 
before, possibly without any thermal paste on the re-assembly.  These 
symptoms match with others that have bad thermal connections.

Good luck
